§ Mr. Forresterasked the President of the Board of Trade whether a decision has been reached on the application from the British Overseas Airways Corporation for permission to acquire two Boeing 707–336B aircraft.
§ Mr. MasonYes. I have agreed that B.O.A.C. may acquire these two further aircraft at a total cost, including spares, of £8.8 million and to use its own funds to purchase official dollars for 20 per cent. of the total. B.O.A.C. will arrange to borrow the remainder abroad.
